FAQ’s

Do you have a show room?

Yes of course!
We encourage you to make an appointment to visit our showroom, test out a few drawers and take a look at our quality workmanship. We are located at Unit 1 /666 Gympie Rd, Lawnton and look forward to seeing you soon!

Who manufactures the cabinets?

we also manufacture from our own factory. We don’t shop around to cabinet makers, we take control of the build from the moment the board arrives at our showroom and goes through our quality control procedures.

Will you work with my architect or building designer?

Absolutely, we do it all the time. We work with private home owners, small business’, commercial builders, architects and large scale residential home builders.

Can you replace doors and benchtops?

This is commonly called a make-over service and at Hammertime Kitchens, we believe this does not constitute value for money. Alter all your cabinets may be at the end of their life span adding new doors and benchtops to existing cabinets could be an expensive waste of money when you have to replace the entire cabinet 1 year later. The most expensive part of the kitchen is the doors, drawer fronts 8- benchtops, replacing the cabinet carcass is little extra expense on top of these items. Plus you get to re-design the entire kitchen.
Replacing Laminate tops with stone is also not advisable as your original cabinetry may not have been made to withstand the extra weight of stone. We cannot offer our guarantee for these types of kitchen renovations as quiet simply we didn’t make the entire kitchen.

Are your kitchens imported?

NO, all of our kitchen cabinets are made locally here in our own factory at Lawnton. We will NEVER use cheap imported kitchens. Every single facet of your kitchen is made just for you.
We prefer to have control over every stage of the process and all our cabinetry is manufactured in house and controlled by a team of fully qualiﬁed cabinetmakers and skilled craftsmen. Our attention to detail and technical expertise combined with the use of ﬁrst rate materials and state of the art computer controlled machinery ensures we are uncompromising in creating a product that meets your highest standards and expectations. Our quality management system which involves the business owner overseeing every step, has been perfected over the years & ensures a high level of production.

What is Queensland Home Warranty Insurance?

If a builder or contractor does Residential Construction Work valued over $3,300 directly for a homeowner, they must get home warranty insurance. This insurance is very important!
Beware of kltchen companies that just “sell you the cabinets” and then “recommend Installers”.
This is their way of avoiding Home warranty insurance and you won’t be covered! Make sure when comparing quotes you ALWAYS ask about this insurance it’s the law!
Your contractor must also be licenced with the QBCC. Hammertime Kitchens Pty Ltd is not only a licenced cabinet maker but also a licenced builder. QBCC licence number 1249353. And for added piece of mind we are also a member of the HIA.
